EMDN U01: Urethral, Prostatic and Bladder Catheters
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group U01 in category U (Devices for Urogenital System): 20 terminal codes, EMDN v2026. Terminal codes are the ones accepted in a EUDAMED device record.

How U01 is structured
The Urethral, Prostatic and Bladder Catheters branch runs 3 levels deep. 4 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 20 codes marked terminal.
3 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 20% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.
The largest sub-branch is U0101 (Urethral Prostatic and Bladder Catheters, without Balloon), holding 10 of the 20 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which U01 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 20 of the 24 codes listed under U01 (Urethral, Prostatic and Bladder Catheters) are terminal and can be selected. The other 4 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the U01 hierarchy?
- The U01 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is U0101 (Urethral Prostatic and Bladder Catheters, without Balloon), which holds 10 of the 20 terminal codes.
- How many U01 codes are catch-all entries?
- 3 terminal codes under U01 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 20% of the branch. The remaining 16 name a specific device type.
